I started this week with the intent of tapering my running somewhat as we near the Turkey Trot. I had hoped to run the Tulsa Route 66 5K run on Saturday as I was going to up in Tulsa for Rissa's Soccer tournament. That plan required that I get to the Tulsa Convention Center by 8:00pm on Friday night to register. I picked Marissa up in front of PESH at 4:15 and we hit major traffic on 75. Then I got a speeding ticket in Atoka and that pretty much blew the 5K plan. Saturday morning I rode my bike along the Arkansas river, it was really cold and windy but i got a nice 30 miles in. Then between soccer games I registered for the Half Marathon. Sunday morning it was REALLY cold with a howling north wind. Somehow I managed to run 84 minutes in the half marathon. Not sure where that came from but holy crap that was tough!
